“My chair makes it possible for me to go where I want when I want!” - Lucy, age 8

Dianosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) at four months old, Lucy became a Numotion customer four months later when she received her first stroller. At age two, she graduated to a power chair.

Just like a child learning to walk, it took Lucy a while to figure out how to move her finger to control the joystick on her new Permobil F3, but her world completely changed when she figured it out. It gives her freedom and independence. Lucy loves to dance and sing, play soccer, draw with sidewalk chalk, make friends and give her little cousins rides.

“It gives Lucy so much freedom and independence. A part of her personality we had never seen suddenly came to life when she started driving herself around. She’s a little sassy and we love it so much. This girl loves her independence and that makes us happy.” - Cherisse, Lucy’s mom
